I am still confuse about the vaccination.

can we process the AOS even if my vaccine is not yet completed? I had my first shot before i got here such as Tdap,HPV and MMR when i had my medical back in Phils or should we finish the vaccination then we can process the AOS?

enlighten me...

thank you

You can file AOS as long as the first dose in each series needed has been administered.

From CIS website:

Q: Does USCIS require that all shots in each vaccine series be completed before applying for adjustment of status?

No. The applicant must have received all the required age-appropriate vaccines that could be given at the time of the medical exam. If the applicant has started the vaccination series, but is not able to complete all the required shots because, at the time of the medical exam, the minimum time interval between shots has not passed, the applicant may still apply for adjustment of status. A waiver is available in cases where, due to required time intervals, it was impossible for the applicant to receive all shots in the series before submitting the application for adjustment of status.

For example, the Hepatitis A vaccine requires that applicant receive two doses of vaccine, six months apart. If the applicant receives the first dose in January, he or she does not have to wait until July, when the second dose would be given, to submit the adjustment of status application. However, the applicant must have received at least the first dose of the vaccine, if appropriate, before applying for adjustment of status.

Thank you so much for the fast reply

I had my first shot of Tdap,MMR and HPV in the Phils..so i believe we can process the AOS already.

Thanks again
